A three-story building caught fire overnight southeast of the Quad Cities and reports indicate that black smoke could be seen for miles.

The Peoria Journal-Star reported that fire was first spotted at the old Farmington High School in Fulton County around 5:30 a.m. Thursday, May 15, 2014. About a dozen fire departments responded to the fire where they said flames were more than 20 feet through the roof.

According to the report, the nearly 90-year-old school building had in recent years been transformed into a business center which held a tanning salon, Laundromat, entertainment center, and other businesses.

Crews were not immediately sure what caused the fire and no injuries were reported, according to the report.
